VLC Source Goes to Black Screen at Random Times

[Mark Weiss]

OBS 30, VLC 2.0.20, running on Windows 10, CPU i7-9700K, 64GB RAM, RTX3090

I use the VLC Media Source with a playlist made by VLC to provide a running list of video clips in OBS. There's about 50 hours of content in the playlist. All of the files are known to play in VLC without issues.

The problem is that I often find the next morning when I check the stream, it's a black screen and VLC isn't streaming.

Seems like a VLC thing, it does the same crap standalone.

Update VLC?

I'm running the latest version & I believe Mark is too, just a typo.

FLAC files now play without random gaps so that's a win.

Of note, none of the files in the playlist cause a stall when playing in VLC and viewing in VLC. It's just the VLC source.
And yes, VLC was updated 2 days ago.
